Can someone measure the distance between the front tire and the chin fairing? I'm trying to see if mine is off from the wreck, I know it was really close but I'm not sure how close it should be.
 
That would vary depending on tire model and amount of wear and if there is any deviation between stock plastic shape from riding and maintenance
 
well, I'm looking for a rough measurement. My front tire has maybe 500 miles on it or so. How about from the edge of the rim to the screws on the chin fairing
 
Kyle i can offer two suggestions from past incidents involving me, first put your bike in a shop when ins co are paying storage things move alot quicker fine a shop you trust tell em the story ,cut your deal with em and let em fight for ya shops are always willing to help out (at least i am ) also lie through your teeth even if she say i was goin the opposite direction he hit me , blah blah blah . whatever the story . after i got hit the guy admitted fault verbally to the cop and i , 3 days later i get a call saying i ran into a guy , i told the lady where it happen and all the scneriios told her i had verbal admitance of fault and that he was lying , and the manager of a big ins co told me "IT AINT A LIE IF YA DONT GET CAUGHT " so im not telling you to say chewbacca ran out in front of you but persuede them with the way you tell the story . sorry for a long post just tryna be helpful
 
ok on the right side with the tire as completely straight as I could get it your looking at close to 5 inches from the edge of the rim to the header where they are closest a little over 17 inches from the center of the front axle to the front bolt of the chin fairing...
These might not be the best way to tell but maybe it will help
 
well there is a harley dealer here, but it took over 2 weeks to get the accident report and it's biased against me. I got a lawyer today.
 
let me know if you need more I'm about to go do "some chores in the bed room" but will be off work most of tomorrow
 
okay, my bike is an '03 XB9R. let me know if this measurement seems off. I looked over the triple tree and everything else and couldn't see and breaks.
